My name is Amy Hatol and I raise quality harlequin and mantle Great Danes of sound mind and body for both show
and companionship. My Danes are raised with love in our home in North Attleboro, Massachusetts. They are
considered part of the family, and I feel blessed to have them as a part of my life.
When I bought my first Dane in 2001, I found a fawn breeder and exhibitor who happened to live across town from me
and she became my first mentor, introducing me to the world of showing and prompting me to join the regional Great
Dane club, of which I'm still a member. She got me started in the show ring long before I ever bred my first litter. I will
always be thankful for the honest knowledge and kind guidance she offered to me. I started out with a harlequin male
(who was shown but never bred) but it was not long before I purchased my sweet mantle girl, Mia, who eventually came
to be the foundation of my breeding. From that point on, my desire has only strengthened to be a part of maintaining
this beautiful and noble breed. In the time I have spent raising and showing Great Danes, I have developed friendships
and networks with many reputable breeders and exhibitors who are involved in showing and breeding harlequin and
mantle Great Danes. They have all, in their own ways, been a wonderful influence and a fountain of knowledge to
guide me in the right direction. I have learned from my experiences with them and I hold the best interests of my Danes
and pups at heart, as I am responsible for them and truly care about them.
Breeding sparingly and conscientiously, since my first litter back in 2004 to the present, I have consistently produced
Danes that are not only wonderful, loving pets, but also healthy, intelligent and fully capable of doing whatever it is that
they are trained to do, whether it is showing, obedience, rally, therapy, service dog, etc.. I always focus on good health
and temperament, correct conformation, longevity and breed type. Danes from my breeding not only look the way
Great Danes should look, but also act the way they should too, with sweet temperaments and the ability to perform. I
am proud to say that from my breeding, I have produced dogs that have been or are now shown in both the AKC and
CKC show rings, are certified therapy dogs (and dogs who are not formally certified, though do therapy work), and
obedience and rally competitors/title holders. I keep my standards high and my goal is to breed for improvement in
each generation and to consistently produce pups of exceptional quality that will grow to be show dogs or simply
become a cherished family member for years to come. I take my commitment to quality and preserving the breed
standard very seriously. Just as I was given support when I started, I will always offer my knowledge, experience and
support to those who acquire pups from me so they may have the best experience possible with their Dane.
